Blogging in lean times, what to say during a recession

by Tricia

There are millions of people who turn to the internet whenever they need any kind of information. Some are looking for products while others are looking for certain services; still others are searching for solutions to their problems. Thus, the internet is a space where you can get the maximum exposure for your business. If you are a blogger, the first thing that you need to do is to put up useful content on your website that will help others.

Start networking

Despite the economic problems that are plaguing the markets today, you can still make it big if you can do your networking properly. Network with others in your same profession and you’ll do well. It is very important to know other people in your niche because they will help publicize your business. Even if you already have a good enough network, you still need to put enough time and effort in order to expand it.

A great way to expand your network is through various social networking sites. You can also ask your clients to refer to you in their contacts and thus spread the word about your business. You can also collaborate with a group of popular bloggers. Many bloggers get into mutual settlements via these groups to publicize each other.

Write about the necessities

One thing that you need to be aware of is that despite all kinds of budget constraints, there are certain things that people will continue buying, such as the bare necessities of life. Thus, if you are able to write about the absolute necessities of life, you will never be out of business.

In order to identify the necessities of life, try to observe the people around you – your family, your friends. By observing them you can understand more about the necessities of life. Once you identify them, try to develop an insight and write about it.

Enlighten and motivate others

When you are in the sphere of blogging and you know that there are many readers you cater to, make an effort to make a difference. Try to write about inspiring stuff that will help people and give them good advice and courage to face difficulties. Inspire the folks who read your blog. Also try to educate them about things that you know best.

A very important thing that you can write about is the job prospects of people. Try to offer ideas and also suggest alternative professions for those in a particular job. People are always willing to learn about a better job and get to know more about what’s going on in the market.

People are always looking to make more money. If you know of some tips to make money on the internet and if you have succeeded already, share it with your readers.

There are millions of things under the sun to write about. Choose your topic in such a way that you are comfortable about it and you have the required knowledge to write about it. Write with your heart and in a genuine manner.

How To Set Up Your WordPress Blog

by Tricia

Blogs are one of the quickest and easiest ways to set up your website.

Most hosting companies give you the option of a “one click” installation of WordPress and if you have this available, it’s worth using as it will take care of setting up the database that WordPress will use.

The only downside to using this method is that WordPress regularly introduces updates, which means you may have a version that isn’t quite the latest one. It’s up to you whether you’re worried about this, although I would advise that you do keep your version of WordPress as up to date as possible as the updates often cover security bugs.

The next thing to do once you’ve got the newest version of WordPress installed on your website is to make some small changes that will have a big influence on making it as attractive as possible to the search engines.

This involves modifying some of the default WordPress settings and also uploading what are known as “plugins” to improve the functionality of WordPress.

I recommend that you install the following plugins:

  • Akismet, a useful plugin that helps cut down comment spam on your blog
  • All in one SEO pack, which does exactly what it promises and helps you optimize your blog so that the search engines will love it
  • Sociable, so that your blog readers can easily add your blog to a selection of social bookmarking sites
  • WordPress stats, which offer a quick overview of your most popular pages and the links your readers have clicked on, all easily accessible from your main WordPress dashboard

The other thing to change is the “permalink” structure. You can select this from the Settings menu in WordPress. Once you’ve chosen Permalinks, go down to the box called custom structure and type in:

/%postname%/

then save your changes.

This will change the way your blog posts are stored and will make them friendlier for the search engines to index.

For professors, scholars and students, it is a way for them to share and brainstorm new ideas about topics like the newest development in the search for the cure for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or for the latest techniques in in the field of mechanical science or robotics. By writing blogs, they can present their researches for possible comments and suggestions. They can also reach people who are otherwise uninterested in academic stuff and would rather surf the internet than read theses and dissertations.
